Theres no limit to how many you can have BUT from experience found that if more than one then the stronger program will shut the other off so its wsted space and energy on your computer.Best to use a Firewall ,lots of effective free available esp from also Microsoft-go to Microsoft Download site will list with brief explanantion,space used and download time required.The Firewall is On all the time and set on automatic updates-naturally the Firewall has a Virus Program.

Take a look at this presentation on "Are you at risk?" http://www.myinvisusdirect.com/office/InternetRisk/InternetRisk.html
It is great valuable information on all the risks and dangers of using the internet, and what you can do to protect yourself. When I watched this presentation, I was extremely mad...I have 5 children 4 of which use the internet daily. I also found that I had over 70 hackers invading my privacy!!!~Jenn

of course u can have as many as u want but if they run together at the same time, it interferes with the computers settings cuz each anti virus has unique settings and firewalls so on so forth....so try to just stick with one.

usually you can only have one or two antivirus programs on ur computer, after that they wont work because they see each other as a virus and try to shut the other one off. but you can have many different programs that are specific. like internet spyware and anti virus..and so on and so forth!

you can have as many as you want but you can only install one at a time. removing the previous before you install a new one. having two will be a conflict. when you install a new antivirus it will detect the old one and advice you to uninstall it first before you install the new one.
hope that helps

yes. Every antivirus takes up HD space and RAM. If you have too many, your computer won't work.
